Events and
Announcements

CONFIRMATION: Sunday, May 5th at 10:30am

Children in the third year of Sacramental preparation will receive the Sacrament of Confirmation next Sunday. Archbishop Hundt will preside.

The church will be able to accommodate everyone; however, it may be quite full and the Mass will take a little longer than a typical Sunday. If you are uncomfortable being in a full church, must avoid crowds for whatever reason, or are on a tight schedule, you may wish to attend the Saturday evening Mass  (4pm on May 4th) for this particular weekend.

We look forward to welcoming Archbishop Hundt and the confirmation of our children.  

First Communion will take place on Sunday June 2nd, the Feast of Corpus Christi.

IN PRAISE OF MARY

The choir invites the public to join them on Sunday, May 5 at 7pm, in the church, for an evening of music and scripture readings.

Enjoy a selection of favorite Marian hymns that honor Our Blessed Mother.
